Insomnia for the loss.
Woke up to a big bang outside my window. And I'm fairly sure it wasn't another universe coming into existence. But I don't have any idea what it really was, and now I can't fall back asleep.
So, I have the promise of writing rp, raspberry coffee, a ham, egg and cheese croissant, and a baby blood elf paladin who is about as swishy as the day is long. Sometimes, you just have to make do.
Luckily, thanks to the aforementioned things, today isn't one of those days. Life is good.

Feel free to ask for five, just keep in mind I'm as slow as molasses in January.

Good morning, class.
I woke up and apparently that was the wrong thing to do, since all manner of weird crap has happened since then.
First off, I stumbled to the bathroom, because that's what you do first thing upon waking. Even before taking the dogs outside (which isn't the case if you have a puppy. Puppies go outside before anything. Important safety tip).
The bathroom door is closed, the stopper is plugging the sink and the toilet lid is closed. Those of you living with men know that at least one of those things never happens when a man is in the house.
So I popped my head into Alan's office, though I didn't say anything because he was on the phone at the time. What I would have said was "WTF..." since at some point between him waking up, and me waking up, he'd rearranged his office. Okay, fine. Something scary is going on, but I didn't ask.
Instead, I went to clean the kitchen. Since I have to let the dogs out anyway, and there's no tv or radio or people talking in the kitchen, this is the perfect 'first thing in the morning' activity. I can't stand chatter and noise when I first wake up. It's like fingernails on the chalkboard. Anyhow. Clean the kitchen, get all the trash together so Alan can take it to the dump.
Alan is off the phone, comes into the kitchen, grabs a coffee cup and fills it with water, and walks back toward his office. Now I'm insanely curious, so I follow.
"Do I want to know?" I ask warily.
"Probably not." He replies.
Which, of course, means I definitely want to know.
"Then you better tell me." Which makes perfect sense in Cassie's world.
"I've decided to practice Feng Shui. My desk now faces east. I need water in a glass vessel in the center of my work space. The bathroom door has to stay closed, and the toilet seat and the sink have to be covered."
"I see. If this works, are we headed toward voodoo? I just need to know." I'm actually semi-serious about this.
"Nope. No voodoo." And I'm certainly hoping he's at least semi-serious, as well.
"Okay. Because if I wake up some morning and there's chanting and sheep's entrails hanging from the walls, we're going to have to have a talk." I'm definitely serious about that.
"Nope, no chanting, no sheep's guts."
"Excellent."
We're just going to leave it at that, and see what happens.
So.
How's everyone this bright and shiny Wednesday afternoon?

syn·chro·nic·i·ty ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sngkr-ns-t, sn-)
n. pl. syn·chro·nic·i·ties
1. The state or fact of being synchronous or simultaneous; synchronism.
2. Coincidence of events that seem to be meaningfully related, conceived in Jungian theory as an explanatory principle on the same order as causality.
I watched an episode of Nip/Tuck tonight. With um. Boysex. Yay!
It's only the second episode of Nip/Tuck I've ever seen all the way through. First was last week, an episode called 'Madison Berg'. Was a good episode. Or, you know. Good in my limited experience.
I started watching Beauty and the Beast, the old 80's series, which a wonderful, lovely person was kind enough to send me. Just watching an episode called 'No Way Down'. Standard fare.
One of the characters looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place him, so I went to IMDb to look up the extra cast. I never did figure out who he reminded me of.
But credited for this ep of BatB was Nancy Lenehan, as 'Lucy'. Going through her (extensive) career appearances, I notice she played 'Sue Alderman'... on an episode of Nip/Tuck named 'Madison Berg'.
Coincidence?
Read the book.

The other night, for reasons unkown, my attention was captured by Fullmetal Alchemist.
I'm so very not really thrilled with anime. But I've watched it the past few nights. I'm not even sure why it caught my eye.
So I'm trying to explain tobria_ferguson the premise of the show.
"So you see, there's these two brothers. And their mother was killed..." Long pause... "Oh wait. It becomes clearer to me now..."
*headdesk*
One track mind, much?

So it occurs to me...
Dae?
How do you ever know one of these boys is going insane? They start not seeing things that other people don't see? They start not believing in things that go bump in the night? Wha?
ETA: For the record, yes, these are the things that keep me awake... or wake me up out of a sound sleep.
